Las Terrazas, Cuba

Visit Las Terrazas, Cuba

Jump to:

Las Terrazas is a small rural community set in the heart of a 25,000 hectare UNESCO biosphere reserve in the Sierra del Rosario.

Regeneration Project

Las Terrazas, Cuba
The area was badly affected by deforestation so an extensive regeneration project was started in 1968 and terraces were laid out for re-planting, giving Las Terrazas its name.

Today the inhabitants work within the reserve, often involved in eco-tourism and benefit from some of the best living standards in the country.

This region is now covered in thick tropical vegetation, deciduous pine and tall royal palms with their distinctive white trunks providing a lovely contrast against the rolling blanket of green.

Activities

The cooler climate and lovely scenery make Las Terrazas a popular place for walking and it is also excellent for bird watching.
